Musical <Around the World in 80 Days>: A journey around the world toward true feelings. London, 1897.

Joined by Aouda, a woman rescued in India, Detective Fix, who persistently pursues them, and Lakota, a girl keeping a secret, the journey turns into a grand adventure. What began as a simple calculation evolves as Fogg breaks out of his cold shell while racing against time and saving lives. Where will this reckless journey around the world lead his life?
